PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DUR­ING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open. (b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave
source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3) seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches, (5) evidence of dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating compart-
ments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity, and connections.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and
transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be performed
on each oven prior to release to the owner.
BEFORE SERVICING
Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave Measure­ment Procedure outlined in this service manual. If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact Viking Service immediately @ 1-888-845-4641.
If the unit operates with the door open, service person should (1) tell the user not to operate the oven and (2) contact VIKING, plus the Department Of Health, Canada and/or the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health immediately.
Service personnel should inform VIKING of any certified unit found with emissions in excess of 4mW/ cm2. The owner of the unit should be instructed not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
DANGER CAUTION
HIGH VOLTAGE
Do not energize a microwave oven with the outer case cabinet removed, because a microwave oven gener­ates High Voltage in the circuit.
If you intend to operate the oven employing the high frequency switching power converter circuit, you should take special precautions to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
The high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor and high voltage diode have energized high voltage potential approx. 8 KV.
The aluminium heat sink is connected to the switching power transistor Collector pole, and has an energized high voltage potential approx. 650V peak.
DO NOT ACCESS THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR, HIGH VOLT­AGE DIODE AND HEAT SINK WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60 seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply must be disconnected. It may in, some cases, be necessary to connect the power supply after the outer case has been removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2) minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and re-examine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully assembled, the microwave power output should be checked and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE (CANADA)
After adjustment of the door switches are completed individually or collectively, switch test and microwave leakage test must be performed with survey instrument and test result must be confirmed to meet the requirement of the performance standard for microwave ovens as undermentioned.
A. Requirements:
Every microwave oven shall function in such a manner that when the oven is fully assembled and operating with its
service
controls and user controls adjusted to yield the maximum output, the leakage radiation, at all points at least 5 cm. from
the
external surface of the oven, does not exceed:
1) 1.0mW/cm2 with the test load of 275 ± 15 ml of water at an initial temperature 20 ±5oC.
2) 5.0mW/cm 20±5oC.
3) 5.0mW/cm
2
when the outer enclosure is removed with a test load of 275 ± 15 ml of water at an initial temperature

without a test load.
B. Preparation for testing: Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important: Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by CSA and NHW performance stand­ard for microwave ovens must be used for testing recommended instruments are , NARDA 8100 and NARDA 8200.
2) Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
3) Place the load of 275±15 ml of tap water initially at 20±5oC in the center of the oven cavity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.) and made
of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage
is measured accurately.
4) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode, Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.
C. Leakage test with enclosure installed :
1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.
2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 2.5 cm/sec. along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.
3) Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
While testing for leakage around the door pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the
closed latch assembly.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2, and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
C. Leakage test without enclosure:
1) Remove the enclosure (cabinet).
2) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to all mechanical and electric parts of the oven that is accessible to the user of the oven including, but not limited to, the waveguide, cavity seams, magnetron gap between the door and the body of the oven.
3) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 2.5 cm/sec. along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is under 5mW/cm2.
CAUTION: Special attention should be given to avoid electrical shock because HIGH VOLTAGE is generated during this
test
No Load test
1) Operate the oven without a load and measure the leakage by the same method as the above test procedure " Leakage test with enclosure installed"
2. Make sure that the highest leakage should not exceed 5mW/cm2.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions dur­ing oven operation.
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened.) When oven is plugged in, 117 volts A.C. is supplied to the control unit. (Figure O-1).
1. The display will show "WELCOME, PRESS CLEAR".
To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.
NOTE: When the door is opened, the oven lamp comes
on.
2. A signal is input to the control unit, energizing the coil of shut-off relay (RY-4). RY4 contacts close, completing a circuit to the damper motor. The damper motor now operates moving the damper to the open position, thereby closing the contacts of the damper switch inputs a signal to the control unit. The coil of relay RY-4 is de-energized, opening its contacts, thereby turning off the damper motor.
COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time Variable Cooking Control by touching the NUMBER pads and the power level pad. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The contacts of relays are closed and components connected to the relays are turned on as follows.
(For details, refer to Figure O-2)
RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1 Oven lamp/Turntable motor
RY-2 Power transformer
RY-3 Heating element
RY-4 Damper motor
RY-5 Convevtion motor
RY-6 Fan motor
2. 117 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the power transformer and is converted to about 3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately 2360 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler circuit.
4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feed­box, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to be cooked.
5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven will revert to the OFF condition.
6. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, third
door switch, monitor switch, door sensing switch, the secondary interlock relay and the primary interlock switch are activated with the following results. The circuits to the turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on, and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the cook cycle when the door was opened.
7. The monitor switch is electrically monitoring the operation of the relay (RY1) and the primary interlock switch and is mechanically associated with the door so that it will function in the following sequence.
(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the door
sensing switch and the primary interlock switch open their contacts, and then the monitor switch contacts close and then the third door switch contacts open.
(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the
monitor switch contacts open and the third door switch contacts close first, and then the contacts of the primary interlock switch and the door sensing switch close.
If the relay (RY1) and the primary interlock switch fail with their contacts closed when the door is opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the C/T fuse, the relay (RY1) and the primary interlock switch, causing the C/T fuse to blow.
POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 117 volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY-2). RY-2 is operated by the control unit within an varying time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME Power 10(P-HI) 32 sec. 0 sec.
(100% power) Power 9(P-90) 30 sec. 2 sec.
(approx. 90% power) Power 8(P-80) 26 sec. 6 sec.
(approx. 80% power) Power 7(P-70) 24 sec. 8 sec. (approx. 70% power)
Power 6(P-60) 22 sec. 10 sec. (approx. 60% power)
Power 5(P-50) 18 sec. 14 sec. (approx. 50% power)
Power 4(P-40) 16 sec. 16 sec. (approx. 40% power)

CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
PREHEATING CONDITION
Program desired convection temperature by touching the CONVECTION pad and the Temperature pad. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY3,RY5 and RY6) are energized, the oven lamp, cooling fan motor, turntable motor and convection motor are turned on.
2. The coil of relay (RY4) is energized by the control unit. The damper is moved to the closed position, opening the damper switch contacts. The opening of the damper switch contacts sends a signal to the LSI on the control unit de-energizing the relay (RY4) and opening the circuit to the damper motor.
3. The coil of heater relay (RY3) is energized by the control unit and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating element.
4. When the oven temperature reaches the selected preheat temperature, the following operations occur: 4-1 The heater relay is de-energized by the control unit
temperature circuit and thermistor, opening the circuit to the heating element.
4-2. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,
turning the heater on and off, as needed to maintain the selected preheat temperature. The oven will shut-down completely after 30 minutes
CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
When the preheat temperature is reached, a beep signal will sound indicating that the holding temperature has been reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and place the food to be cooked in the oven. Touch the CONVEC pad first and then touch the Tempera­ture pad. And program desired cooking time by touching the Number pads. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down to zero.
2. The oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor are energized.
3. Heater relay (RY3) is energized (if the cavity temperature is lower than the selected temperature) and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating element to return to the selected cooking temperature.
4. Upon completion of the cooking time, the audible signal will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor are de-energized. At the end of the convection cycle, if the cavity air temperature is above 275οF, the circuit to RY6 will be maintained (by the thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the cooling fan motor until the temperature drops below 245οF, at which time the relay will be de-energized, turning off the fan motor. Relay RY5 will however, open as soon as the convection cycle has ended, turning off the convection fan motor.
5. At the end of the convection cook cycle, shut-off relay (RY4) is energized turning on the damper motor. The damper is returned to the open position, closing the damper switch contacts which send a signal to the control unit, de-energizing shut-off relay (RY4).
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING CONDITION
Touch the HIGH MIX/ROAST or the LOW MIX/BAKE pad
first. And then program desired cooking time by touching the Number pads. The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is prepro­grammed for 350
ο
F with 10% microwave power, while the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is preprogrammed for 300οF with 30% microwave power. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down
to zero.
2. The shut-off relays (RY1,RY2,RY3,RY5 and RY6) are
energized, turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection fan motor.
3. The shut-off relay (RY4) is energized. The damper door is closed from the open position.
4. The heater relay (RY3) is energized, applying the main
supply voltage to the heating element.
5. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking condition.
6. When the oven temperature reaches the selected
temperature, the following operations occur: 6-1. The power supply voltage is alternated to the heating
element and power transformer.
6-2. The heating element operates through the heater
relay (RY3) contacts and the power transformer operates through the primary interlock relay (RY2) contacts.
6-3. These are operated by the control unit to supply
alternately within a 32 second time base, convection heat and microwave energy.
The relationship between the convection and microwave power operations are as follows.
Note: The ON and OFF time ratio does not correspond
with the percentage of microwave power, because approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.

SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR COOK function, the foods are cooked without figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays the informa­tion to its microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results. When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor “senses” the vapor and its resistance increases

COOK immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two minutes before cooking on SENSOR COOK.
2. Select desired Sensor setting.
3. Touch START pad.
The coil of shut-off relay (RY1, RY6) is energized, the
oven lamp and cooling fan motor are turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.
4. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is energized. The power transformer is turned on, microwave energy is produced and first stage is started. The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad.
5. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking time and the timer counts down to zero. At this time, the door may be opened to stir food, turn it or season, etc.
6. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
7. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the time of day will reappear on the display and the oven will revert to an OFF condition.
COMPU BROIL/ COMPU ROAST/ COMPU BAKE
COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE will automatically compute the oven temperature, microwave power and cooking time for baking, roasting and broiling. Set the desired program by touching the COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE pad, and number pad. Enter the weight by touching the Number pads. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The COOK indicator will light and the Convection Fan Symbol will rotate.
2. The cooking time will appear on the display and start
3. The shut-off relays (RY1, RY5 and RY6) are energized,
4. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking mode.
counting down to zero. The cooking time is adjusted automatically according to the weight of the food.
turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and convection motor. The power supply voltage is applied to the heating element.
5. When the oven temperature has reached the programmed convection temperature, the oven goes into the programmed cooking mode.
6. At the end of the COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE cycle, the damper is returned to the open position and the oven will go to the off condition. The cooling fan will remain on until the oven has cooled.
COMPU DEFROST COOKING
The COMPU DEFROST key is a special function key to de­frost meats and poultry faster and better. COMPU DEFROST automatically defrosts roast beef, etc.. When the COMPU DEFROST is selected and the food weight is entered by using the COMPU DEFROST pad, the oven will cook ac­cording to the special cooking sequence.
FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)
This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop the oven's operation if there is a fire in the oven cavity dur­ing microwave cooking. This is accomplished by the LSI repeatedly measuring the voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (thermistor) during it's 32-seconds time base comparing the obtained voltage measurements. If the most recent volt­age measured is 300mV greater than the previous voltage measured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and switches off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor and convection motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity. Please refer to the following section for a more detailed description.
Operation
Please refer to the timing diagrams below.
1. The thermistor operates within a 32-seconds time base and it is energized for three (3) seconds and off for 29 seconds. Two (2) seconds after the thermistor is energized, the voltage across the temperature measurement circuit is sampled by the LSI and twenty one (21) seconds after the thermistor is cut off the LSI turns on the cooling fan for six (6) seconds.
2. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference between the first voltage measured (in step 1) and the voltage measured when the procedure is repeated (step
2) is greater than 300mV the LSI makes the judgment that there is a fire in the oven cavity and will switch off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor and convection motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity.
3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by pressing the "START" pad or the unit may be reset by pressing the "CLEAR" pad.
